[FIXED] How to iterate this kind of list?

Issue

How can I access the int value in a list that looks like this?

occurence_list = [["sleep", ["morning_meds", 2], ["watching_tv", 3]], ["morning_meds", ["sleep", 1], ["watching_tv", 3]]]

Solution

There's not much to go on based on your example. You would need to know the structure of the array to make a more informed decision. However, if you want to generalise the issue, saying that you have an arbirarily nested array, and you want to extract all integers, you could do this:

def get_ints(nested_list):
    for item in nested_list:
        if isinstance(item, list):
            yield from get_ints(item)
        if isinstance(item, int):
            yield item

ints = list(get_ints(occurence_list))

Output:

[2, 3, 1, 3]
